How can understanding design’s past better prepare
us for its future? New technological and social
practices are changing the landscape of design,
offering new possibilities and challenges for
designers to work through. By reflecting on where
we have been, we become better situated in our
current conditions and more prepared to face
future dilemmas. This course is for emerging
designers interested in gaining greater insight
and context into the diverse fields of industrial,
communication, and interaction design. You will
have opportunities to reflect on the history of
design and its impact on today’s world, as well as
imagining the possible futures of design. Through
presentations, class workshops and research
projects, you will learn about methods and
technologies used within the practice of design
and gain confidence in understanding what roles
designers will need to take to help shape our
futures.
